1 Potential indicators of habitat and water quality in the lower Columbia River Joe Needoba, Ph.D. Associate Professor OHSU-PSU School of Public Health

2 How did the Blob influence the Columbia River estuary? August 2014 October 2014

3 In 2015 the estuary was also influenced by warm river conditions

4 For the CRE, how does compare to previous anomalous warm years? 1997 Strong El Niño - warm ocean 2001 Low snowpack - warm river 2005 Delayed upwelling - warm ocean The Blob - warm ocean and river

5 Sensor Networks in the Columbia River estuary

6 Measuring ocean water in the estuary

7 Measuring ocean water in the estuary Temperature corresponding to daily highest salinity measurement

8 River Flow and Temperature
